Number of People

  Chapter 640 T-shaped scroll reassurance

   When Feng Ziying came out of Rongguo Mansion, it was almost time to apply.

   Jia Lian kept the meal, it's better not to eat, otherwise he would have to go to Jia Zheng's for dinner.

   But Wang Xifeng didn't show up, which made Feng Ziying breathe a sigh of relief. This woman always looks a little uncomfortable.

At that time in Daguanlou, I didn’t know whether I was scratching my head or what. I suddenly saw that I was so wild and wild, and I dared to do it. Looking back now, I feel that I may have suppressed it for too long, so It just exploded once.

   It's also fortunate that this ghost woman is under his control, otherwise he would be a little afraid of the other party's backlash. Although it has been so long, he is still a little scared.

   There are no outsiders, and Jia Lian is very open-minded. After a few more drinks, he dares to say anything, including complaints about his father and dissatisfaction with Wang Xifeng.

   Guessing that Jia Lian is also too aggrieved at home, and he can only vent once when he meets himself.

  Feng Ziying couldn't intervene more about such family matters, Jia She and Wang Xifeng were not easy-going lamps, so if Jia Lian wanted to avoid them and stay in Yangzhou, it might be a good thing.

  Knocking on the door of Lixiangyuan, I immediately saw Baochai whose cheeks were blushing and eyes full of affection, but that Yinger was standing aside with her mouth pouted, seeming a little annoyed.

  "Wen Long isn't there?" Of course he isn't. Feng Ziying knows that Xue Pan is always in the Daguan Tower at this time, carrying cages and birds, listening to operas and drinking tea. He is a winner in life.

   "Brother hasn't come back yet." Baochai slightly pursed her lips, beckoning Yinger to pour tea.

  Let Feng Ziying into the main room, only two people were left, Feng Ziying looked at Baochai's drooping head, "I'm afraid my sister is a little blaming her brother in her heart? It's been a few days since I came back to see my sister."

"A man should put his career first. Brother Feng must not delay his work because of his younger sister." Baochai's words are always so reasonable. Perhaps this is why many fans of the Red Chamber don't like her very much, thinking that she is too rational and lacks in love. That kind of girly sensibility.

For Feng Ziying, he didn't think that a girl who lost her father and brother since she was a child and was not up to date, wanted to barely support a big family that was once brilliant but slowly declining, and still be like a normal young girl with little love. Generally innocent, that is heartless.

"Well, it seems that my sister is still a little resentful." Feng Ziying laughed, seeing Baochai's hands on her knees, she suddenly stretched out her hand to pick up Baochai's round and jade-like wrist, raised it to the tip of her nose and sniffed, "Well, still Are you eating Lengxiang Wan?"

   Baochai was caught off guard, and blushed suddenly. She wanted to fight back, but she couldn't catch Feng Ziying. She struggled a little, and Feng Ziying caught her in her hands.

   "My sister hasn't answered my question yet."

"In spring, it's very dry, so I need to take some, and in summer, it will be gradually reduced." Baochai tilted her head slightly, with a fair and slender pink neck, a jade-run snowy dimple, and a pair of benevolent bright eyes. With her black hair like clouds and her soft voice, she actually has a touch of Daiyu at the moment, which made Feng Ziying a little stunned.

  The fragrance is so strong that it lasts for three days. I don't know how intoxicating it would be for such a person to belong to me in the future.

   Feng Ziying was in a daze, and Yinger, who brought the tea, saw Feng Ziying's dazed appearance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Baochai also noticed Feng Ziying's dumbfounded look, she was ashamed and happy, and quickly withdrew her hand, her eyes were so charming that she almost seduced Feng Ziying's inner dryness.

   Swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her mouth was dry, and Feng Ziying also realized that she had lost her composure.

  It's not a young girl anymore, anyway, there are a few women beside her, why can't she stand the temptation like this, no, before she is seduced, she is already fascinated.

   Picking up the tea, I wanted to drink it. Fortunately, Baochai reacted quickly, so I quickly reminded him, otherwise I would have to burn my mouth to drink it.

   Baochai will be sixteen this year.

  This is a problem, no less than Daiyu who is only fourteen, you can wait a little longer, and Baochai's age should be the most suitable age for girls in this era to marry, no wonder Yinger looked upset just now.

  Marriage is extremely important to any girl, especially for a woman like Baochai whose father has passed away.

  So Feng Ziying needs to give the other party a dose of reassurance.

   Seeing that Baochai had no intention of letting Yinger leave, Feng Ziying knew that Baochai and Yinger were master and servant, just like Daiyu and Zijuan, this is also the norm in this era.

  The maid who followed her since she was a child is always more considerate and expressive than the one who came halfway. It seems that the girl Yinger is also deeply in Baochai's heart.

   "..., I went to the palace the day before yesterday. Thanks to the emperor's love, I also asked some things, mainly about what I did in Jiangnan. The emperor was very happy,..."

   Baochai's heart pounded violently, coming, coming, is it really...?

  Yinger couldn't help covering her mouth even more. Could it be that Uncle Feng is going to fulfill his promise so soon?

"...The emperor said that he would reward a Zhuangzi, and asked me what I thought,... I have a lot of ideas, but I dare not say some of them, so I can only half-cover it and say that I hope to give my second uncle a title." ,..."

   "Huh?!" Baochai couldn't help being surprised.

Rao is that Baochai doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, and he also knows how impolite and unruly it is for a courtier to openly ask the emperor for a title. Although it can't be said to be treasonous, it is definitely to make the emperor's impression bad. If he failed, the emperor would explode on the spot and punish his subordinates.

  But is my husband such a person who doesn't know what is good or bad?

   Baochai's doubtful eyes lingered on Tan Lang's face, but Tan Lang's face remained the same, even with a hint of smile and complacency, why?

   "The emperor was very displeased and reprimanded me,..."

Knowing that there will be such a result, but hearing Feng Ziying say this, Baochai's heart still can't help but sink suddenly, her face is dim, but she still tries to force a smile, "Brother Feng, in fact, you shouldn't be like this!" ,..."

Feng Ziying waved her hand, smiling broadly, "Well, do you think I'm being a bit abrupt? Well, there are some things, um, things about Chaoli that my sister doesn't understand. Well, there are some things, if you don't bring them up, no one will care. , including the emperor, so the emperor is not happy, so I explained, I just ask for a false title, just like my father's current general Shenwu, is there anything wrong with that?"

   Baochai didn't come to his senses yet, and was stunned.

   "The emperor is very strange. He thinks my request is a bit weird. A false seal, a few tens of taels of silver a year, not even a Zhuangzi, what's the point? I just want to give my second uncle a comfort,..."

   Baochai suddenly understood, this is step by step.

  If the emperor agrees, then the second wife of the Feng family will also receive a knighthood. Although he is not a marquis like Hulunhou, the head of the house, he has a manor, fields and even a house, but so what? Isn't what I'm looking for is a justifiable title?

Like Daiyu, she wants to marry into the third house. As Tan Lang said, her father-in-law is just a false title of a general of martial arts. If he wanted to continue the incense, the imperial court would not reject such things, and by then, he would not be able to get his wish?

   "Then what does the emperor say?" With Baochai's calm temperament, she couldn't help asking.

   "What can the emperor say? How could he agree to my request?" Feng Ziying laughed.

   Baochai's heart sank again, but at the same time, he saw Tan Lang smiling so happily, knowing that he might not understand the mystery again, so he gave him a coquettish look.

"My sister thinks about this kind of thing too simply. The emperor said to give it to a Zhuangzi, how can he change it just because I said it?" Feng Ziying laughed, "So, Zhuangzi must have given it, and I will give it to you." Okay, then accept it, but this request has been made, and the emperor should have an impression in his heart. The credit he made this time has been given to a Zhuangzi, so it is worth thousands of taels of silver, right? Next time I will only ask for one How can the emperor refuse to confer a false title?"

  Seeing that Baochai was still worrying about gain and loss, Feng Ziying said with relief: "Besides, it may not be necessary to wait until the next time I make a contribution to wait for the emperor's favor. Maybe there will be other opportunities?"

   This is not something that Baochai can understand. Naturally, Feng Ziying will not explain it thoroughly. It is enough for Baochai to understand that this is not a problem.

   Seeing Tanlang being so determined, Baochai finally relaxed.

Since Tan Lang can openly ask for such a title in front of the emperor, it also shows that he really takes this matter to heart, and he has great confidence and confidence. With Tan Lang's current ability, this may be a year. Why should I worry too much about things within half a year and put more pressure on Tan Lang?

Baochai asked some more about Sister Lin, and she was very generous. Feng Ziying also talked about the situation of the Lin family, which made Baochai's eyes blush. Fortunately, Xiangyun was there with Sister Lin. If it wasn't for this, Baochai would have wanted to go to Yangzhou as a companion.

  Feng Ziying does not doubt Baochai's sincerity. Although the relationship between the two daughters is not as close as Daiyu, Tanchun and Xiangyun in this time and space, they have always been quite harmonious.

There is no other reason. With her appearance, Jia Baoyu's image has faded greatly. Daiyu has built a psychological barrier against Baoyu from the very beginning. Baoyu has never been able to walk into Daiyu's heart. Her vision is undoubtedly higher, and of course her wrists are more subtle than Daiyu's, but there is no doubt that they have never included Baoyu as their marriage partner.

  Of course, this is only from their personal attitudes, and in this era, the right to make decisions about marriage is often in the hands of parents.

  Therefore, neither Daiyu nor Baochai will give up such an opportunity when they have the opportunity to control their own marriage destiny.
